“Alright. I’ll apologize to Miss Sophia,” said Corinne with a smile.
Pamela smiled, relieved by Corinne’s answer. “That’s right, Corinne. You’re every bit of the sensible girl I know you
to be.”
Corinne walked up to Sophia, who tried to hide the glee in her eyes.
Sophia waved her hand and lied, “Really, there’s no need, Corinne. I know you didn’t mean—ahh!”
Corinne grabbed Sophia’s hair, dragged her to the counter, and slammed her head down on it before she could
finish her sentence.
Everything happened so fast that Sophia did not even have a chance to react. The next thing she knew, she was
screaming out in pain.
No one expected that to happen too, so they were understandably shocked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne had finished dealing with Sophia by the time Jeremy went to stop her. He glared at Corinne when he saw
the new injury on Sophia’s forehead.
“What the hell did you do that for?” he hissed.
Corinne pushed Sophia onto Jeremy’s chest before pulling out a tissue from the countertop to wipe her hand.
“Mister Jeremy, there’s nothing more I hate in this world than to be accused of things I didn’t do. I’ll never apologize
for baseless accusations. Since you insist I apologize to Sophia, however, I might as well do the things you accused
me of before apologizing.”
Jeremy frowned and steadied Sophia before pulling his hand away. He then looked at Corinne with darkened eyes.
Corinne no longer cared what Jeremy thought of her. “Now that I actually hurt Sophia, I don’t mind apologizing to
her anymore,” she added.
She turned to Sophia and said solemnly, “Miss Sophia, I’m really sorry for hurting you. Do you need to go to the
hospital? I’ll compensate for any medical fees you might’ve incurred.”
Sophia suppressed her anger and looked at Corinne in disbelief. “Why… Why are you treating me like this when
we’ve just met?”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have a right to question me when you’ve asked for it yourself.”
“But I didn’t ask for it…” said Sophia pitifully.
Corinne crumpled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can. She then turned to Jeremy and asked, “Now that
I’ve apologized, can I go?”
Jeremy simply looked at her coldly.
Noting his silence, Corinne turned to leave.
Pamela quickly snapped out of her shock. She then put herself in front of Corinne and grabbed her hand. “Corinne,
where are you going? Come home with me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne pulled her hand back and put some distance between herself and the old woman. “Miss Pamela, I’m sorry
you went to all this effort to come here, but I’m not going home with you. I’m going to go back to my own home.
Please ask Jeremy and Francine to send you home.”
Pamela did not like Corinne addressing her as ‘Miss Pamela’, but she decided not to correct her on that since there
were more important matters.
“Corinne, the baby is going to be due soon, so it’s not safe for you to be wandering outside. Be a good girl and
come home with me.”
Corinne took another step back to prevent Pamela from grabbing her hand again.
“I’m not wandering outside. I have friends and a house, and I know how to take care of myself. You can rest
assured I’ll be living a very good life,” said Corinne impassively. “Miss Pamela, I hope you stop seeing me as your
family. Your real granddaughter-in-law is over there. You should ask her to give birth if you want to have a great-
grandson. As for the baby I’m carrying right now, he doesn’t have anything to do with the Holdens. You don’t have
to worry about him anymore.”
